You're not going to take it apart, are you?

[sasquatch]

sadly yes but dont worry its gonna be rebuilt better faster and stronger BPT baby

and as i was saying, this thing sounds awesome 2,1/4 inch turbo back exhaust

[JPT]

I'd love to have one of those, but they're even rarer than Festys in my area and Festys are super hard to find around here.

its funny how one min you can be happy and the next mad as heck.... it seams everything is going wrong with this car... its not running quite rite like when i get up in to boost (above .6 or .7 bar it craps out, it idles to high and when i turn it down to the right level it dies after reving it up, one of the windows dont roll down and when you turn on the high beams they turn off... ooo and the spark plugs where not tight... i wonder what else he left loose.... its starting to make me mad... when it goes in to my festiva it better run right or im gonna smash somthing....

rant over...

anyone have any idea whats up with the boost thing?

ok a small up-date on the the 323 gt... it got a name (drum roll).... "zoom" yup, "zoom" i have a moped named betty, an mr2 named "MR, 2" (say it like "mister two"), a festiva named zippy and now a 323 gt named zoom

i tried to fix that boost problem and it was a fail but i did make a bit of a diffrence... i went and got a high-flow fuel filter and a new o2 sensor. the fuel filter is a nice edelbrock one and i never need to buy a new one, it comes apart and i just clean out the stainless steal filter and it looks cool lol....



then i changed the o2 sensor and that was a PITA!!! i had to pull the intercooler to get at it and then i saw this...





so my intercooler is done... it leaks in like 4 or 5 diffrent spots but thats ok cause its getting changed to a big one when it goes in my festiva and i think i found my problem of the bad idle cause when i stuck my finger on the holes it slowed the idle down

now i could get to the o2 sensor and it would not move... it was in there for good... so i put everything back so everything would work and started up the motor and the heat made it possable to get out then when i got it out i found this...



i think thats the part the gives the reading... and i think its NOT made with it sticking out the side....

and the new one that looks better...

and to make sure it was working right i grabed the narow band out of my festiva and wired it up quickly, but i didnt want to cut the wire on my new o2 sensor so i made a harnes. i think someone may find it useful...

split the connector


get two connectors like this


put them on some wire like this


and connect back up then you can run your wire pu to your gauge....


tomorows list is to paint the VC and try out a home made BOV!!! thats right a home made blow off valve.... if it catches on fire that will be very ironic cause parts of it are made to fight fire... stay tuned lol

[ejp2fast]

nice names! sounds like this is coming together nicely.

Wow that brings back memories!!! Same exhaust I had on my GT also... What's up with the tail lights??? First time I've seen a pair like that; mine were red on top with the silver turn signals and back-up lights on the bottom...
